The boat is fixed - at last!

In the midst of all the moves, we've had some serious "mal-functions" that have occupied a lot of Randy's time as well. . . replacing the impeller and fuel pump on the boat got us back on the water at last. It had been over a month since we'd been on the boat - before school started. (The fuel pump had to be replaced on our Buick - a job he did just a few days after the boat repair. The fan went out on our heat pump one of those hot days the end of August, so he learned a lot about replacing that and two days later, we were sleeping back upstairs in the air conditioned comfort of our bed, rather than in the basement on the couch and floor.) Add to that list, packing to move and getting our house ready to sell.

Carrie and Jaclyn were along and we enjoyed a quick trip Friday evening.

After such a long HOT August, we couldn't believe how COOL it felt Friday. Three of us were glad to stay dry on the boat and watch. Carrie is warming up on the "dog house" enjoying the engine's warmth in this picture I do believe!

Ryan took two turns even, trying to make up for lost time. How ironic that it was the hottest August on record for Chattanooga and we were only on the boat ONCE. Oh well, it was really too hot to even want to be outside, even on the boat.
